I think your theories from yesterday have been overthrown, jendaby

The folks who posited "JAFO" as an answer to my "Quel de Fuck, NG?" post from yesterday are probably closer to the money.

He just asked me if I knew anything about pipettes.

::headdesk::

Specifically? He didn't know how to read the numbers on the micropipettor so that he could pipette the amount he wanted

Maybe I should show him this:

Now, maybe that is all impenetrable nonsense to non-science folks. However, if you watch at 1:25 or so, you'll see exactly how to read a micropipette in order to select exact quantity of solution you wish to aspirate. You twist the numbers until they read, top to bottom, the number. NG was sure that it read bottom to top.

He had two weeks of training with his predecessor before he started. WTF?

I agree. I've also found many places that don't want the input of intelligent people, though, they'd rather run an inefficient outfit they already understand. People are crazy.

That was me, also how can you get a Biomedical Sciences degree and not know how to use a Micropipette, have you got some kind of wacky Zoologist in a lab?

I mean, I assume he has a degree...
